Three major and interrelated mental hurdles every student in a research-oriented graduate degree program has to contend with and, at some point, hopefully, make peace with: 1. #ImpostorSyndrome. You are smart. You know things. You belong here. https://t.co/36kucauyFX

Impostor phenomenon occurs among high achievers who are unable to internalize and accept their success, often attributing their accomplishments to luck rather than ability.

“There’s no place like home,” says Paul Hall, 64. He's one of ~780K Americans with ESRD, requiring either dialysis, or a transplant, to live. Now, Mr. Hall dialyzes at home at any hour he pleases, thanks to #TabloDialysis. Read more in today's @NYTimes:

The Tablo System promises to make dialysis easier and more convenient for patients. But there are significant barriers to the technology.

In a cross-sectional analysis, nephrologist ownership of dialysis facilities was associated with decreased erythropoietin use (but no difference in anemia or transfusions) and increased home dialysis. https://t.co/2RETQuw8Bf

I claim as a part of my own identity very few marginalized identities. Identifying with the experiences of those who have experienced what others call "impostor syndrome" -- when it is in fact marginalization -- is something I am continually working on in myself.

It is clear that, for many people, the conventional framing of impostor syndrome is 100% wrong. It is not innate or even driven by internal factors. It is a natural response to experiencing systemic misogyny, racism, and marginalization of groups with different identities.

We are 72 hours after online publication of the linked analysis of ETC, and I have some thoughts. 🧵 Financial Incentives to Facilities and Clinicians Treating End-stage Kidney Disease and Use of Home Dialysis https://t.co/twE7133yDH via @JAMAHealthForum part of @JAMANetwork

🚨New Paper Alert🚨 @liraneinav, @nealemahoney, Amy Finkelstein and I study the first year of the ESRD Treatment Choice model, a nationwide RCT that provides financial incentives to dialysis facilities and clinicians to increase home dialysis use.
A nationwide RCT gives providers financial incentives to inc home dialysis, shows no statistically significant increase in home dialysis, suggesting greater incentives may be necessary to change behavior. https://t.co/O1bwTTzQbh

It's only 9 months of post-experience, and it's limited to older Medicare beneficiary pts (age 66+), where there may be lesser potential to increase home dialysis % in ETC-assigned facilities. But it's one early data point that ETC didn't really shake things up that much. 🤔

Observed: No difference in home dialysis % of incident patients (treatment measured at 90 days) between ETC-assigned and control HRRs, controlling for lagged outcomes and lots of other factors. Did not look at transplant-related outcomes.

A young man is in a mental health crisis. He attacked his grandmother. Instead of police, a mobile crisis unit arrives. No sirens or flashing lights — and no guns. The counselors only talk. He agrees to get a psych eval. Alternative response in action.
inquirer.com
Most calls to crisis lines are resolved on the phone. But when a call needs an in-person response, a mobile crisis unit often swings into action. The alternative, some fear, is relying on police.
